Since I see posts everyday on this site by the usual crowd telling us how bad Israel is for threatening to attack Iran, I want the same crowd to answer this simple question:
In response to 30 years of “marg bar Israel”, open calls for Israel to be “wiped off the map” (that’s what he said, don’t sugarcoat it), arming and funding every anti-Israeli group on the planet and militarily attacking Israel through its proxy Hezbollah, what should Israel do in response? Here, I’ll make it a multiple choice answer so you don’t have to exert yourselves too much:
1) thank the IRI for bringing it to its attention that it (Israel) is an illegitimate government that should just go away;
2) send the IRI a basket of flowers;
3) send IRI cheerleaders and propagandists a basket of flowers;
4) disperse all the pesky Jews back to wherever they came from;
5) come to the realization that “marg bar Israel” is actually a call to action and it should implement it and just die;
6) Never, ever, ever use the military strategy of deterrence when it is being told by a hostile country that it does not have a right to exist and where the leader of that hostile country wears a checkered chafiyeh symbolizing the fact that reaching “ghods” is his ultimate goal. And when the hostile country is arming militant groups that are sitting at its border.
7) all of the above.
PS/ please do not filibuster this by talking about Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians, because I will probably agree with you on that subject. I just want an answer to what Israel’s response should be toward Iran in light of 30 years of open hostility, threats and military action by the IRI against it.
